Using the ASR-10 with a MIDI Guitar Controller
9
Using MONO B Mode
To use the ASR-10 in MONO B mode, set it up as follows:
• Load one or more instruments into the ASR-10.
• Press Edit, then System•MIDI. Scroll to MIDI IN MODE.
• Select MIDI IN MODE= MONO B.
• Press Edit, then Track. Scroll to MULTI-IN MIDI CHANNEL.
• Set each Instrument•Sequence Track MULTI-IN MIDI CHANNEL to correspond with its
track number (Track 1 MULTI-IN MIDI CHANNEL=1, Track 2 MULTI-IN MIDI
CHANNEL=2, etc.).
• Set your guitar controller to transmit in MONO mode on channels 1– 6 (some models have an
easy shortcut for getting into this state).
• Connect the MIDI Out of the guitar controller module to the MIDI In of the ASR-10.
• You should now be able to play the ASR-10 from the guitar controller with each string playing
its corresponding Instrument•Sequence Track as shown below:
MIDI Out
MIDI In
MIDI IN MODE=MONO B
Track 1 MULTI IN MIDI CHANNEL= 1
Track 2 MULTI IN MIDI CHANNEL= 2
Track 3 MULTI IN MIDI CHANNEL= 3
Track 4 MULTI IN MIDI CHANNEL= 4
Track 5 MULTI IN MIDI CHANNEL= 5
Track 6 MULTI IN MIDI CHANNEL= 6
Track 7 MULTI IN MIDI CHANNEL= 7
Track 8 MULTI IN MIDI CHANNEL= 8
MIDI BASE CHANNEL= 1

A few important points about MONO B Mode:
• Notes played on each string will play only the corresponding Instrument•Sequence Track.
Each string/Instrument•Sequence Track combination is totally independent.
• MULTI-IN MIDI CHANNELs do not have to be set 1-8. They can be set to any channel from 1
to 16, as long as each track has a different MULTI-IN MIDI CHANNEL and the guitar
controller transmits accordingly. Unless you have a very complex MIDI setup, setting things
up as shown above will provide the most straight-forward and intuitive arrangement.
• Different MIDI receive channels must be selected for each Instrument•Sequence Track that
you want to receive via MIDI. If more than one sequence track is set to the same MULTI IN
MIDI CHAN, only the lowest numbered Instrument•Sequence Track will receive via MIDI.
